s13 300zx brake rotor size upgrade?

I am trying to find out if you can upgrade the rotors for a set of 300zx calipers, I know that z rotors are about 11", can I get 12" or even bigger rotors to work with calipers? :hammer:

larger rotors have more mass and therefore offer better cooling and heat dissapation. or something like that.
